[plug] Motherboard Problems

[Arie Hol]

Consider :

The motherboard may have been designed to have two power supplies - where
there is a primary and a secondary power supply, in which case the secondary
unit is a backup for the primary unit allowing the motherboard to "switch"
to the secondary unit in the event that the primary unit should "fail".
